The United States is often described as a “land of immigrants,” yet not all immigrants are equally welcomed. Today, immigration is a heated topic in political campaigns and conversations, creating divisions, strong feelings, and emotions. The media depicts immigrants in negative, racialized terms dehumanizing their experiences. Such constructs fuel anti-immigration discourses and support laws that push immigrants to society's margins, making their lives invisible, dangerous, and difficult. Using a constructionism lens, we argue that negative constructions of immigrants as a problem are not representative of immigrants’ experiences or contributions to society. Immigrants contribute to American society through economic, cultural, and religious realms, yet laws and media, through constructions that are reproduced daily through technology, make it difficult for these contributions to be seen and acknowledged.
